On September 16th, 2017, Philly Rapper Lil Uzi Vert, who just released “Luv is Rage 2” on August 25th, posted a video to Instagram captioned, “Just A Vibe💨🚷 ….👨🏾‍🎤vs🌏2® ? 🙄”. The video was Uzi lip-syncing along to a snippet of a track he’s working on in the studio, while smoking a blunt. You can watch it here:

The World” from 2016, which featured songs such as “Money Longer”, “You Was Right”, and “Ps & Qs”. Uzi announced the release of Luv is Rage 2 the day it came out, but despite the lack of true promotion, the LP ended up being #1 on the Billboard 200, even with competition such as A$AP Mob’s “Cozy Tapes Vol. 2: Too Cozy” and XXXTentacion’s “17”.

Fans are now excited for the release of “Lil Uzi Vert Vs. The World 2”, as well as the collab-album he announced he was working on with rocker Marilyn Manson. This collaboration has been waited on for fans ever since Uzi bought a Marilyn Manson chain for $220,000 from popular jewelry maker, Ben Baller. You can see Uzi’s chain here:
